How do I exclude certain part of email from being scanned?
Hi there, I have enabled client-side auto Sensitivity labelling for emails in a tenant for PII detection using pre-built SIT & Trainable Classifiers. However, the issue is that the Email signature automatically makes the check true and applies the label automatically, which I want to avoid.
Is there a way for me to exclude the signature part of the email from being excluded?
Hi hfgjhgjhgkjgh, in your sit you can exclude part of signature that maching for the sit, that way you can avoid matching sit. For trainable classifier, negative matching sample, you can include few sample signatures( I havent tried that approach though) hope this is helpful.
To do this properly, make sure you have an email signature system in place that allows you to control the email signature otherwise your user can use this to bypass DLP.
Once you have control of the everyone's email signature, then you can use mail rules to look for specific keywords to not encrypt the email. But you will want to make sure you have your email rule priority setup correctly as well.
Hi hfgjhgjhgkjgh!
You can try adding your email signature to the "exclude" list in your sensitivity label policy or configure rules to ignore specific text patterns. Another option is to wrap the signature in tags like <!--StartFragment--> and <!--EndFragment-->, which some systems recognize for exclusion. If that doesn’t work, you might need to adjust your classifier or use a transport rule to bypass signatures.
